Baird reiterates an 'Outperform' on Affymax, Inc. (NASDAQ: AFFY), new price target of $18.00.

Analyst, Christopher Raymond, said, "Heading into Q212 earnings, (anticipate early August), we think expectations are low, given late April launch/traditionally slow nephrology ramps. However, as a new survey highlights, current Omontys use is measurable and expected uptake is meaningfully ahead of our model. Given nephrologists' historical tendencies to overstate preference-share, and given that dialysis is highly contract-driven, we wouldn't necessarily go overboard on these data. Nonetheless, this feedback is encouraging and supports our anticipation of a successful launch."
